For the Sword Stance, see Vengeful Revenant.

Macabre spectral power has risen. Infused with the essence of the Eidolon, Revenant has strong survivability and deals high damage. Enemies become his thralls.

This is Revenant, the returned - the condemned. Harnessing the essence of Eidolon and warrior alike, he mystifies and obliterates his foes.

Revenant serves last rites for the souls he leaves on fire, without a plea for mercy.
Once the warden of the plains, tasked with protecting the Unum's tower and striking down the ghostly Eidolon forms that rose from the depths every night. Night after night, he cut them down. Not allowing them to take form. Then one night, he disappeared, lost… forever.

Release Date: August 24th, 2018

Ravaged by Sentient energy, wreathed with eldritch Eidolon essence, the blighted sovereign Revenant subjugates foes through his affliction. Bestow his sacrificial legion haunted dreams, reap unseen, and spill their lifeblood upon the desolate scorched earth. Revenant was resurrected in Update 23.5 (2018-08-24).

Acquisition

Revenant's main blueprint is awarded upon completion of the Mask of the Revenant quest, which is unlocked after reaching Rank 2 - Observer with The Quills. Revenant's component blueprints are acquired from Plains of Eidolon Bounties; building at least two different components is required to advance through quest. Additional main blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for 50,000 Standing.

Main article: Mask of the Revenant
Why do I remember this? The land here, killing hot, full of strangeness. This is where Gara vanquished the Sentient! Where its essence fell into the ground, trapped in some unworldly between. It wanted out. At moon rise its ghostly tendrils would emerge, seeking form, seeking... return... And this... this was the warden... a Warframe. I can see it, like a dream repeating... The tendril emerging night after night, and the warden, night after night, cutting it down... until the warden himself was lost. How?

Following GaraIcon272 Gara's sacrifice over the Eidolon, at the very site of her decisive battle which the Ostrons now call Gara Toht Lake, a Warframe known solely as the Warden would arrive to drive away the Sentient as it emerged night after night. This trial would continue until one fateful evening, where the Warden foolishly tried to make contact with the Sentient and was overwhelmed. Discovering that the Sentient was using him as a means to reform itself, the Warden cast himself into the lake to seal it. The time spent as an "anchor" to the Sentient would infuse the Warden with its eldritch energies, becoming "the Lost One".

In the present day, Nakak receives a strange mask, the Mask of the Lost One, from Onkko. She sells it to the Tenno, instructing them to wear it in the Plains of Eidolon at nighttime. There, they see a large spectral silhouette of an Eidolon; meanwhile, Nakak receives a vision from the Unum, explaining the story of the Warden. After completing the story, the Warden, now transformed into the Revenant that serves as a "mask" for the Eidolon, emerges but is driven back, leaving behind its own blueprint. Having rebuilt the Lost One, Nakak claims the Warframe that had been infused with the powers of the Eidolon will be needed to combat a new threat imposed by the Sentient.

Notes

Trivia

  • Revenant was revealed in Devstream 112, and is the first SentientFactionIcon Sentient-themed Warframe, before CalibanIcon Caliban.
  • Revenant's codename during development was Vlad, likely named after Vlad the Impaler who, in 1897, Irish writer Bram Stoker based the famous vampire "Count Dracula" off of. As described by Stoker, Count Dracula was an undead warlock that fed on human blood.
    • Revenant's abilities are also vampiric in nature:
      • Enthrall130xWhite Enthrall converts others into loyal thralls, a trait in vampires.
      • MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin allows Revenant to cast Enthrall freely; vampires are capable of enthralling with their "mesmerizing" eyes.
      • Reave130xWhite Reave turns Revenant into intangible mist, another trait in vampires. Additionally, vampires are famous for their ability to steal the life essence of their victims, with Reave displaying such trait when it passes through enemies and thralls.
  • A revenant is an undead being that retains some purpose after its reanimation, usually to seek out and get revenge upon those who wronged it in life.
  • To enthrall somebody means to make one subservient.
  • The name MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin may be based on Franz Mesmer, a German doctor who came up with the theory of Animal Magnetism.
  • To reave means to deprive (a person) of something through theft or violence.
  • DanseMacabre130xWhite Danse Macabre is based on Danse Macabre, French for "Dance of Death", a late-medieval allegory of the universality of death.
  • When Revenant's Danse Macabre is discussed in his Warframe Profile, the Lotus says "Bewitch your enemies in the moonlight, Tenno." This is a lyric from the song Dance Macabre by the Swedish heavy rock band Ghost.
  • Revenant's fourth ability was originally a mass crowd control area of effect that put enemies to sleep.
  • After TennoCon 2018, Revenant's abilities underwent changes to include more lasers and lights to emphasize the Eidolon theme.
    • Fitting with Revenant's Eidolon theme, Danse Macabre's rotating lasers is derived from an attack used by the Eidolon Gantulyst.
  • Revenant, alongside his signature shotgun, Phantasma Phantasma, are the first Warframe and weapon to require Sentient Cores to craft.
  • Revenant is the 36th Warframe to be released (excluding Primed and Umbra variants).
  • Revenant is the second Warframe whose component blueprints are acquired from Bounties, first being GaraIcon272 Gara.
  • Revenant was originally tasked as a warden by the Unum to prevent the fallen Eidolon from coming back, implying that he was active after the Sentient War on Earth, at the very least. Whether he had directly participated in the War or not is unknown.
    • Revenant is the sixth known frame to be active before and/or during the fall of the Orokin Empire, after MirageIcon272 Mirage, InarosIcon272 Inaros, TitaniaIcon272 Titania, HarrowIcon272 Harrow, and GaraIcon272 Gara.
  • Unlike most of the Warframes, Revenant's signature melee weapon was not released simultaneously with him. Digital Extremes decided to withhold and release it later alongside Melee 3.0.
    • His signature Two-Handed Nikana, Tatsu Tatsu, was released with Update 24.4 (2019-03-08).
  • Oddly enough, despite Revenant's Sentient composition that would make him highly susceptible to DmgVoidSmall64 Void damage, he and CalibanIcon Caliban do fine in areas rife with Void Energy such as the Orokin Void and the Zariman Ten Zero.

Info

  • Revenant expends EnergyOrb25 energy to release his Sentient energy onto an enemy target within a range of AbilityRangeBuff10 / 15 / 20 / 25 meters, converting it into an Alpha Thrall that is forced to fight for the Tenno cause. Alpha Thrall's attacks spread the affliction to other enemies, also converting them into other alpha thralls on hit. All types of thralls remain under Revenant's control for AbilityDurationBuff15 / 20 / 25 / 30 seconds and only 7 total thralls may exist at once.
    • Casting speed is affected by Casting Speed.
    • The number of active thralls is tracked by the buff icon beside the shield and health bars.
    • Thralls are tracked on the minimap as allied units represented by blue dots.
    • Thralls can be attacked and damaged by all sources, whether from their own allies or Revenant's and his team's weapons and abilities.
      • Thralls affected by DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation status will result in turning Thralls back to enemy state for its duration.
    • Thralls have high Threat Level, allowing them to draw fire away from Tenno.
  • On death, Alpha Thralls leave behind an Eidolon energy pillar that lasts for AbilityDurationBuff10 seconds. Each energy pillar continuously inflicts AbilityStrengthBuff250 / 500 / 750 / 1,000 DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture damage per second to all enemies within a AbilityRangeBuff0.5 / 1 / 1.5 / 2 meter radius; additionally, pillars generate homing energy projectiles that seek out nearby enemies within a range of AbilityRangeBuff10 meters, exploding on impact to deal AbilityStrengthBuff250 / 500 / 750 / 1,000 DmgImpactSmall64 Impact damage and guaranteed RollingDroneAvatar Stagger in a ? meter area and converts enemies hit into Beta Thralls as long as Revenant does not already have maximum thralls.
    • Beta Thralls also convert other enemies they hit into beta thralls up to the total Thrall count, but they do not leave behind energy pillars on death.
    • Projectile damage is affected by Mod TT 20px Vigorous Swap and ArcaneArachne Arcane Arachne.
    • Energy pillars do not inflict damage per second nor launch projectiles against thralls.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Enthrall costs 0 energy when used on an enemy stunned by MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin.
    • Reave130xWhite Reave steals AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 20% / 30% / 40% Health and Shields from Thralls (5x more than base).
    • Alpha and beta thralls killed by DanseMacabre130xWhite Danse Macabre leave behind pickups that grant 50 Overshields for Revenant and his allies.
    • Energy pillars explode to disperse damage radially when struck by Danse Macabre lasers.
      • Explosion deals the remaining damage of the pillar to surrounding enemies.
      • Explosion damage diminishes with distance.
  • Can be cast on a new enemy target if below the number of max thralls active.
    • Casting Enthrall on a new target will not refresh the duration of existing Thralls.
  • Cannot be recast on enemies already affected by Enthrall.
  • Enemies under the effect of Enthrall will not increase or refresh Melee Combo when struck with a melee weapon.
  • Enemies under the effect of Enthrall will not increase or refresh Sniper Combo when hit with a sniper rifle.
  • Enemies under the effect of Enthrall cannot be used to initiate or refresh the buffs of Mod TT 20px Double Tap and Mod TT 20px Split Flights. However, on-headshot mods such as Mod TT 20px Argon Scope still function normally.
  • Enemies under the effect of Enthrall cannot be use to trigger the effects of any arcanes that are triggered on crit, such as ArcaneAcceleration Arcane Acceleration, or on headshot, such as ArcaneConsequence Arcane Consequence.
  • Beam weapons that chain between multiple enemies (such as the KuvaNukor Kuva Nukor or TenetCycron Tenet Cycron) will not chain to enthralled enemies, regardless of the original target.
  • Casting Enthrall is a One-Handed Action that allows the player to perform attacks, movement and parkour Maneuvers.
  • Revenant visually extends his left arm forward and channels a stream of Sentient energy that envelops the target, creating an upward surge of energy particles that appears on the enemy until it is under his control.
  • Thralls are visually distinguished from other enemies by a spectral Eidolon Vomvalyst mask and orbiting spines floating above their head.
  • Revenant's Sentient energy trail, energy particles, thrall Vomvalyst mask and spine sparks, and energy pillar colors are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.

Tips & Tricks

  • Helminth subsuming MindControl130xWhite Mind Control and then casting Enthrall on it can create an invulnerable thrall for its duration.
  • Nullifier Crewman can remove the enthralled effect from itself and nearby enthralled enemies.
  • Sentients and bosses can be Enthralled but for a significantly shorter duration.
  • Units that apply beneficial effects to allies, such as Ancient Healers, will immediately stop affecting their former allies once Enthralled and instead benefit Tenno.
  • Enthralled enemies that can spawn additional units, such as Drahk Masters and Boilers, will spawn permanent Tenno-aligned units, unless affected by DmgRadiationSmall64 Radiation.

AbilityRangeBuff Range:N/A

Misc:

100% (reflected damage and status)100% (Enthrall energy discount)

1 (ally buff charge)

Info

  • Revenant expends EnergyOrb50 energy to surround himself in a shroud of Sentient energy that reflects AbilityStrengthBuff3 / 4 / 5 / 6 incoming enemy attacks; attackers receive 100% of the reflected damage and Status Effects, while also becoming stunned for AbilityDurationBuff2 / 3 / 4 / 5 seconds. Upon consuming a charge, Revenant becomes Invulnerable for 1 second. Mesmer Skin lasts indefinitely until all charges are used.
    • Casting speed is affected by Casting Speed.
    • Number of remaining charges is displayed on the ability icon.
    • For any non-integer the number of charges is rounded up to the next whole number. For example, 255% Ability Strength = 15.3 charges, this is rounded to 16. However in game the maximum charges will display 15, with the 16th charge displayed as 0.
    • Revenant is immune to self-stagger, which does not consume a charge.
    • Does not reflect damage dealt by status effects and objects created by enemies (e.g., Napalm flame patches)
    • Does not negate damage from Explosive Barrels or Environmental Hazards, although they will not use up a charge.
      • Revenant's Health can still take damage, but will not be lowered below 2 and therefore cannot die as long as he has charges.
    • Mesmer Skin converts knockdown from Shockwave MOA waves into a knockback.
    • Mesmer Skin reflects damage from Scorpion and Ancient hookshots, as well as blocking their knockdown and pull effects.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Enthrall130xWhite Enthrall costs 0 energy to cast on an enemy stunned by Mesmer Skin.
    • While Mesmer Skin is active, Reave130xWhite Reave restores 1 charge per thrall that Revenant passes through, up to the full charge count.
    • While Mesmer Skin is active, allies such as Warframes and Companions that contact Reave's current will gain 1 Mesmer Skin charge.
  • Can be recast while active to apply a new instance. Previously unused Mesmer Skin charges are removed during recast.
  • Casting Mesmer Skin is a full body animation that interrupts grounded movement and other actions.
  • Revenant visually grows a cluster of Eidolon tendrils on his left shoulder, emits fumes from his body and a shroud of white mist around his torso while Mesmer Skin is active. Allies that gain Mesmer Skin also exhibit these visual effects on their body.
  • Eidolon tendrils and fumes color tinting are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.

Main article: Mesmer Shield

Mesmer Shield is a Warframe Augment Mod for RevenantIcon272 Revenant's MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin that increases its own Ability Strength and grant charges to allies within Affinity Range.

Mesmer Shield

Tips & Tricks

  • It is probably more beneficial to focus on Ability Strength, Ability Duration and Ability Range, rather than equipping Health and Shield mods on RevenantIcon272 Revenant as Mesmer Skin provides high survivability.
  • Casting while in air allows Revenant to maintain forward momentum while activating Mesmer Skin.
  • When receiving the Ability Strength and Ability Range buff from Void Fissure missions, activate Mesmer Skin right before the buff ends. Avoid Nullifier Crewmen and other enemies with an ability nullifying field to take full advantage of the buffed Mesmer Skin. Additionally, if Mesmer Skin is activated and the buff is no longer active, the un-buffed Mesmer Skin value will replace the buffed Mesmer Skin value, even if the buffed value was greater.

Bugs

  • Damage dealt by Nullifier Crewman with its null sphere intact does not use up Mesmer Skin charges. Damage is still mitigated completely.
  • The remaining charge counter on the ability icon can sometimes disappear while the ability is still active, most prominently observed after performing Transference back into the Warframe.
  • Charges can be modified into decimals, but the ability icon counter only displays whole numbers, including 0 which can be misleading.
  • When using Mod TT 20px Rage or Mod TT 20px Hunter Adrenaline, even though damage is fully nullified, if the damage exceeds Revenant's shield value, energy will still be granted.

Subsumable to Helminth

Info

  • Revenant expends EnergyOrb50 energy to transform into a torrent of Sentient mist-like energy that surges forward toward the aiming reticle, at a speed of 25 meters per second for AbilityDurationBuff0.25 / 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 second. While traveling in energy form, Revenant is intangible, Invulnerable to damage and protected against new Status Effects, as he pushes an energy current with a width of AbilityRangeBuff3 / 4 / 5 / 6 meters. Reave can be manually cancelled by pressing the ability key again (default 3 ) or jumping during the dash.
  • Enemies passing through the energy current are drained AbilityStrengthBuff2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of their maximum Shields and Health, while Revenant restores AbilityStrengthBuff2% / 4% / 6% / 8% of his maximum shields and health from each enemy leeched; all active status effects on Revenant are also transferred to enemies he passes through.
    • Does not restore shield points to Revenant if enemies do not possess shields.
    • Hitpoints from enemies can be drained and restored to Revenant multiple times, if enemies pass through the same instance of Reave.
  • Ability Synergy:
    • Reave steals AbilityStrengthBuff10% / 20% / 30% / 40% Health and Shields from enemies affected by Enthrall130xWhite Enthrall (5x more than base).
      • The drain percentage displayed in Abilities and the Upgrade screen display the Thrall-empowered drain.
    • While MesmerSkin130xWhite Mesmer Skin is active, Reave restores 1 charge per thrall that Revenant passes through, up to the full charge count.
      • While Mesmer Skin is active, allies such as Warframes and Companions that contact Reave's current will gain 1 Mesmer Skin charge.
    • Reave costs halved energy during DanseMacabre130xWhite Danse Macabre, with instantaneous casting speed and Danse Macabre's stopping animation can be skipped if deactivated during Reave.
  • During Reave, Revenant continuously dashes toward the direction of the aiming reticle.
    • While grounded, Revenant can freely change his dash direction.
    • While airborne, Revenant cannot change directions until he makes contact with a horizontal surface.
  • Can be cancelled by jumping, which preserves forward momentum.
  • Casting Reave is an upper body animation that interrupts only upper body actions such as melee attacks or reloading and can be cast while airborne.
  • Revenant visually becomes translucent and enveloped in Sentient energy during the dash.
  • Sentient energy cloak, energy current, and particle trails are affected by Revenant's chosen Warframe energy color.
  • Subsuming Revenant to the Helminth will offer Reave and its augments to be used by other Warframes. Note that the UI's listed 40% damage is not applicable for non-Revenant frames and instead deals 8% damage.

Augment

BlindingReaveMod
Main article: Blinding Reave

Blinding Reave is a Warframe Augment Mod for RevenantIcon272 Revenant's Reave130xWhite Reave that blinds enemies caught in its fog, while also passively increasing its range.

Blinding Reave

Tips & Tricks

  • Since Reave deals a set percent damage to enemies' health, it can scale indefinitely.
    • Without mods, at 100% Ability Strength, it would take 13 Reave casts to kill any enemy, only 3 if that enemy is enthralled.
    • The percent damage is always significantly reduced against Nox, even with enthralled one. Thus, it is quite ineffective and inefficient to kill them with Reave.
  • Use Aim Glide during Reave to descend slowly.
  • Move the aiming reticle during Reave to change your dash direction.
  • Dash in a circle around enemies to drain from them multiple times.
  • Consoles can be activated and terminals can be hacked while Reave is active.
  • When falling from a sufficient height that would induce a hard landing, activate Reave before or immediately after the hard landing to cancel it.
  • Jump right before Reave ends to take full advantage of its speed and to conserve its momentum. This is especially handy on larger tilesets or the open world maps.
  • If a turret on the Plains of Eidolon is hit with Reave, it is instantly destroyed, regardless of level.

Info

  • Revenant unleashes the might of the Eidolon essence emanating from his left arm, dispersing the Sentient energy into 9 energy beams as he levitates and spins counterclockwise. Energy beams oscillate in angle vertically as Revenant rotates, rapidly sweeping across a 100 meter radius area with rotation speed 1 rev/sec in a pentagonal shape. Each energy beam has a thickness of AbilityRangeBuff0.03 / 0.05 / 0.08 / 0.1 meter radius and continuously inflicts AbilityStrengthBuff500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,250 damage per second with a 20% status chance to all enemies caught in its path.
    • Casting speed is affected by Casting Speed.
    • Energy beams possess innate Punch Through, allowing them to bypass terrain and obstacles in the environment.
    • Energy beams cannot hit enemies standing above Revenant's left arm due to the oscillation pattern.
    • While active, all damage received by Revenant is stored into a total damage pool. The stored damage is displayed as a buff. The current displayed value is added to each beam as a flat damage bonus.
      • Stored damage decays at a rate of ~23.33% current damage per second, which equates to ~39.5% every 2 seconds, ~52.1% every 3 seconds, etc.

Base vs Final Stats in Modding - Health / Energy / Shield / Armor Stat Overhaul

If you’ve spent any time invested in the deeper nuances of Modding, you may be familiar with “Warframe Math” - math that upon first glance doesn’t really make sense, but once you learn the inner workings of the game, it all comes together. While we can appreciate the value that complex systems offer to a certain subsect of players, there are other aspects of the game that should have clear and understandable outcomes. Namely: Shield, Health, Energy, and Armor Modding.

Pop quiz: what is 300 + 440%? If you answered 740, you may just be an Excalibur player.

Vitality (+440% Heath), Redirection (+440% Shields), Flow (+150% Energy), and Steel Fiber (+110% Armor) come with large modifier values that don’t seem to match their outcome in-game. This is because these Mods apply their multiplier to the base stats of the Warframe - i.e., the stats you have at Rank 0. In the Excalibur example, a Rank 30 Excalibur’s Health stat of 300 earns an additional 440 Health from max rank Vitality (+440% Heath) since it applies to his base rank Health stat of 100, resulting in 740 total health.

In this update, we have removed this obfuscation by having Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods apply to the stats of Warframes at their current rank. Continuing our Excalibur example, instead of Vitality always applying to Excalibur’s base rank 100 Health, it would apply to his Health stat based on his rank - namely, the stat you can actually see in your Arsenal. If your Excalibur were Rank 30, his Health stat would be 300, which means Vitality’s multiplier would be calculated off of 300.

With previous Health and Mod values, additional adjustments are needed to make this revision work while maintaining game balance. By only changing where the multiplier applies, a Rank 30 Excalibur would receive an extra 1,320 Health from max rank Vitality, resulting in a total health stat of 1,600. This outcome is a significant buff, which is not the intention of this system change.

To remedy this, we approached this problem in two ways:

1 - We reduced the overall multiplier for Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor Mods.
Since these now affect Max Rank Warframe stats, these Mods need to scale differently to maintain the status quo. Additionally, we wanted these new values to be as clear and understandable to all players as possible! Here are a few examples of these value changes:

  • Vitality: Reduced from +440% to +100% Health
  • Redirection: Reduced from +440% to +100% Shield Capacity
  • Steel Fiber: Reduced from +110% to +100% Armor
  • Flow: Reduced from +150% to +100% Energy Max

Note: These are not all of the Mods affected by this change. We share the comprehensive list further down in this section of the update notes.

Doing some quick math, this means that a Rank 30 Excalibur (300 Health) with a reworked Vitality Mod (+100% Health, applied to the final Health stat) would receive 300 extra Health, for a total of 600. That, in contrast, is a nerf, which we also don’t want to do.

So, our next step:

2 - We adjusted Warframe Health, Shield, Energy, and Armor values to keep the end result of the revised Mods as close to the original values as possible.

With this change, Excalibur’s Rank 30 Health stat is 370. With +100% Health from a max Vitality Mod, his resulting Health stat would be 740, which matches what it was originally.

While this path to the same result may seem a little complicated, the outcome matches our intention: we want players to be able to look at their Health, Shield, and Armor Mods, and be able to understand how they affect the stats they see in their Arsenal.

In addition to everything above, we also increased the base stat values for Warframes so that these revised Mods offer similar value for lower-ranked Frames. To do so, we reduced the amount of Health/Shield/Energy that Warframes earn per rank in half, and transferred the sum of that value to their base stats.

For Armor, this is the one stat that does not increase with your Warframe’s level (with some exceptions). Armor values across the board have been slightly increased to compensate for the Mod changes.

Not to beat a dead Kaithe, but Mods will now be applying to the Max Rank stat instead of the Base Rank. You may look at these numbers and think “nerf” or “buff” depending, but the outcome is that total Modded values are the same, if not a little higher in some cases.

Warframe Stat Changes:

REVENANT Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300) Shields: Base Rank - 735 (from 225) / Max Rank - 835 (from 675) Armor: Base Rank - 135 (from 125)

Energy: Base Rank - 140 (from 125) / Max Rank - 190 (from 188)

REVENANT PRIME Health: Base Rank - 270 (from 100) / Max Rank - 370 (from 300) Shields: Base Rank - 825 (from 250) / Max Rank - 925 (from 750) Armor: Base Rank - 135 (from 125)

Energy: Base Rank - 175 (from 150) / Max Rank - 225 (from 225)

While there may be significant changes to Warframe Stats and Mod values as a part of this overhaul, the end result is that your Builds should mostly stay the same. The key difference is the added clarity of what your Health / Shield / Energy / Armor Mods do in your Upgrade screens!

Revenant Ability Changes

We have a big batch of changes to Revenant based on constructive player feedback. Specifics per ability follow below, but a big thanks to everyone who took the time to login, play, and visit a space (forums or otherwise) to give their thoughts. It's crucial to the iteration process. Thank you!

ENTHRALL

THRALLS: We have made changes to have Thralls have more value in life AND death - just as Revenant did. The general rule Thralls will follow is they provide CC in Life, Damage in Death. The goal is simply to have an easy supply of Thralls to make use of in both Life and Death.

Currently Enthrall has the following uses:

WHILE ALIVE:
You can get up to 7 enemies Crowd Controlled - they won't attack you or allies and will draw Aggro from AI. It spreads / is transferred - the Enthralled state is contagious! You can Reave Thralls for greater scaling Health and Shield Leeching. If Thralls are killed by Danse Macabre, overshield drops are created.

AFTER DEATH:
It creates a damaging pillar, and that's it. Not useful enough in death at all!

ADDITIONAL After Death:

MESMER SKIN

On the development build before release, Mesmer Skin was recastable but we removed this due to balance concerns. But, our gut reaction was right and thanks to your feedback we've changed it back to how it was and you can now recast Mesmer Skin to recharge it!
